STOCKTON – Reed Peters expects the Big 8 Conference to be as tough as always this season.
On Wednesday, he and the Delta Mustangs received their first taste of what's likely to come.
The Mustangs opened up conference play and held off the tenacious Modesto Pirates 4-3 at Delta's Cecchetti Field. Modesto took an early lead, but Delta received a key hit from first baseman Chris Williams and five innings of combined scoreless relief from Joey Skracic and Mikey Wright to get the victory.
